The National Water Development I Project seeks to increase the capacities of the organizations and people of the sector, and prepare for the private sector management of the urban water supply systems of five cities (Maputo, Beira, Quelimane, Nampula and Pemba), so that sector organizations can provide sustainable water supply and sanitation services to an increasing proportion of the community and manage water resources sustainably. There are five components in this project. First, institution building and policy development will develop a regulatory and monitoring framework and capacity, and undertake studies for development of water sector policy. Second, preparation for private sector management of urban water supply will support the bidding process for the private sector management of the water supply systems of the five cities, design and construct emergency works, prepare plans for the provision of sanitation services in the five cities. Third, rural water supply and sanitation (RWSS) will reorient and reform the management and implementation of RWSS. Fourth, water resources management will develop a national water resources management strategy. Fifth, human resources development will emphasize management training and development.
